Workshop and Training Contents

Objectives of Half- and Full Day Presentations on Sleep Disorders (The Full Day Presentations cover a broader range of research findings, as well as a more exhaustive discussion of interventions and treatments):

Attendees will:

1 ) Learn about the high incidence rates of major pediatric sleep disorders and the medical and educational urgency of identifying students with sleep disorders;

2) Learn the difference in day- and nighttime functioning between normal sleeper and children with a major sleep disorder;

5) Understand the significant academic and behavioral improvements students make after their sleep problems or disorders are corrected;

6) Be able to implement a quick, thorough, and inexpensive sleep screening for all children and adolescents (RTI) using the Sleep Disorders Inventory for Students(SDIS); (school districts and hospitals undergoing this training will be provided the opportunity to purchase sleep screening licenses for major discounts on large screenings from 200 - 2,000 students);

7) Screening will identify the students who have behavior-related sleep disorders that can be corrected by having parents implement home interventions with their children, and the sleep disorders that need to be referred to the pediatrician or sleep specialist for medical treatment;

8) Learn how to use a collaborative problem-solving process with parents and medical professionals;

9) Receive referral resources/addresses of pediatric sleep specialists in order to refer children/teens who are at “high risk” of having a sleep disorder;

10) Awareness of huge estimated savings to school districts and society if children's sleep disorders are identified and corrected early before significant damage is done.
